For whatever we lose (like a you or a me), it's always ourselves we find in the sea.

We made it to Thursday Island without incident - the remaining 60 miles through the Great Barrier Reef was actually pretty simple and we joined the main shipping channel heading north up the coast. The one surprise was the amazing number of ships traveling in the channel causing us to hug the edge of the channel, pushing us closer to all the reefs than I would have liked. Still, accidentally bumping up against a reef sounds a little more forgiving than close-call with a 250m long cargo ship!
